McLemore, the seventh overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, played all three of his big-league seasons in Sacramento, wherein he averaged 9.7 points per game on 41.7 percent field-goal shooting. The former second-team All-American out of Kansas missed just 16 games in those three seasons — all during the 2016-17 campaign.
